a) The basic earning per share is calculated as follows:
Basic EPS = Net income / Weighted average number of share outstanding
= $900,000 / 1,000,000 shares
= $0.90 per share
Where,
Weighted average number of share is calculated as follows:
Type | Period of holding | No of months | Proportion | No of shares | Weighted average shares |
Common stock | 1/1 - 31/12 | 12 Months | 12/12 | 6,00,000 | 600,000 |
Additional shares | 1/3 - 31/12 | 10 Months | 10/12 | 4,00,000 | 333,333.3333 |
Treasury stock | 1/1 -31/8 | 8 Months | 8/12 | 1,00,000 | 66,666.66667 |
Weighted average shares | 1,000,000 |
b) The Diluted EPS is calculated as follows:
Diluted EPS = Diluted Net Income / Diluted shares
= $972,000 / 1,200,000 shares
= 0.81 per shares
Where,
Diluted income = $900,000 + ($2,000,000 * 6% * 60%)
= $900,000 + $72,000
= $972,000
Diluted shares = 1,000,000 shares + ( 2,000,000/1000 * 100) shares
= 1,000,000 shares + 200,000 shares
= 1,200,000 shares
